Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Tequila (Silver or Blanco)
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened dried coconut flakes
- 1 piece Vanilla bean (optional)
Instructions
1. Start by choosing a clean, airtight 1-liter glass jar or bottle. Ensure the container is properly sanitized before use.
2. Add the tequila to the jar or bottle, leaving some room at the top for the other ingredients.
3. Measure 1.5 cups of unsweetened dried coconut flakes and add them to the tequila. Stir gently to ensure all the flakes are submerged in the liquid.
4. If using a vanilla bean, split it lengthwise with a sharp knife to expose the seeds, then add the whole bean to the jar. This will add a subtle sweet and aromatic note to the infusion.
5. Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for 3 to 5 days. Shake the jar gently once a day to help the coconut flavors blend with the tequila.
6. After the infusion period, set a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth over a bowl or another clean jar. Strain the coconut tequila to remove all the coconut flakes and vanilla bean. Discard the solids.
7. Transfer the infused tequila to a clean bottle or jar. Seal it tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. The coconut tequila will last for several weeks.
8. Serve chilled as a sipper, or use in cocktails like margaritas, piña coladas, or coconut tequila sunrises. Enjoy responsibly!
